The scam is simple, and it works. Just before settlement, you get an email that looks like it's from us, same logo, same tone with "updated" bank details.
You transfer your deposit or settlement funds. The money is gone, and it's almost never recovered.
So here's our rule, and we'd ask you to make it yours too:
We will never change our bank account details by email. If you ever get a message asking you to send money to a new account, stop. Don't reply. Call us on a number you already have from our website or an earlier conversation, never one in the email itself and check it with us directly.
A two-minute phone call is all it takes to protect what is often the biggest payment of your life.
Buying or selling in Victoria and want a conveyancer who takes this as seriously as you do?
